Now king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} loved{H157} many{H7227} foreign{H5237} women,{H802} together with the daughter{H1323} of Pharaoh,{H6547} women of the Moabites,{H4125} Ammonites,{H5984} Edomites,{H130} Sidonians,{H6722} and Hittites;{H2850}

of the nations{H1471} concerning which Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} Ye shall not go among{H935} them, neither shall they come among{H935} you; for surely{H403} they will turn away{H5186} your heart{H3824} after{H310} their gods:{H430} Solomon{H8010} clave{H1692} unto these in love.{H157}

And he had seven{H7651} hundred{H3967} wives,{H802} princesses,{H8282} and three{H7969} hundred{H3967} concubines;{H6370} and his wives{H802} turned away{H5186} his heart.{H3820}

For it came to pass, when{H6256} Solomon{H8010} was old,{H2209} that his wives{H802} turned away{H5186} his heart{H3824} after{H310} other{H312} gods;{H430} and his heart{H3824} was not perfect{H8003} with Jehovah{H3068} his God,{H430} as was the heart{H3824} of David{H1732} his father.{H1}

For Solomon{H8010} went{H3212} after{H310} Ashtoreth{H6253} the goddess{H430} of the Sidonians,{H6722} and after{H310} Milcom{H4445} the abomination{H8251} of the Ammonites.{H5984}

And Solomon{H8010} did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} and went not fully{H4390} after{H310} Jehovah,{H3068} as did David{H1732} his father.{H1}

Then did Solomon{H8010} build{H1129} a high place{H1116} for Chemosh{H3645} the abomination{H8251} of Moab,{H4124} in the mount{H2022} that is before{H6440} Jerusalem,{H3389} and for Molech{H4432} the abomination{H8251} of the children{H1121} of Ammon.{H5983}

And so did{H6213} he for all his foreign{H5237} wives,{H802} who burnt incense{H6999} and sacrificed{H2076} unto their gods.{H430}

And Jehovah{H3068} was angry{H599} with Solomon,{H8010} because his heart{H3824} was turned{H5186} away from Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} who had appeared{H7200} unto him twice,{H6471}

and had commanded{H6680} him concerning this thing,{H1697} that he should not go{H3212} after{H310} other{H312} gods:{H430} but he kept{H8104} not that which Jehovah{H3068} commanded.{H6680}

Wherefore Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Solomon,{H8010} Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept{H8104} my covenant{H1285} and my statutes,{H2708} which I have commanded{H6680} thee, I will surely{H7167} rend{H7167} the kingdom{H4467} from thee, and will give{H5414} it to thy servant.{H5650}

Notwithstanding in thy days{H3117} I will not do{H6213} it, for David{H1732} thy father's{H1} sake: but I will rend{H7167} it out of the hand{H3027} of thy son.{H1121}

Howbeit{H7535} I will not rend away{H7167} all the kingdom;{H4467} but I will give{H5414} one{H259} tribe{H7626} to thy son,{H1121} for David{H1732} my servant's{H5650} sake, and for Jerusalem's{H3389} sake which I have chosen.{H977}

And Jehovah{H3068} raised up{H6965} an adversary{H7854} unto Solomon,{H8010} Hadad{H1908} the Edomite:{H130} he was of the king's{H4428} seed{H2233} in Edom.{H123}

For it came to pass, when David{H1732} was in Edom,{H123} and Joab{H3097} the captain{H8269} of the host{H6635} was gone up{H5927} to bury{H6912} the slain,{H2491} and had smitten{H5221} every male{H2145} in Edom{H123}

(for Joab{H3097} and all Israel{H3478} remained{H3427} there six{H8337} months,{H2320} until he had cut off{H3772} every male{H2145} in Edom);{H123}

that Hadad{H111} fled,{H1272} he and certain{H582} Edomites{H130} of his father's{H1} servants{H5650} with him, to go{H935} into Egypt,{H4714} Hadad{H1908} being yet a little{H6996} child.{H5288}

And they arose{H6965} out of Midian,{H4080} and came{H935} to Paran;{H6290} and they took{H3947} men{H582} with them out of Paran,{H6290} and they came{H935} to Egypt,{H4714} unto Pharaoh{H6547} king{H4428} of Egypt,{H4714} who gave{H5414} him a house,{H1004} and appointed{H559} him victuals,{H3899} and gave{H5414} him land.{H776}

And Hadad{H1908} found{H4672} great{H3966} favor{H2580} in the sight{H5869} of Pharaoh,{H6547} so that he gave{H5414} him to wife{H802} the sister{H269} of his own wife,{H802} the sister{H269} of Tahpenes{H8472} the queen.{H1377}

And the sister{H269} of Tahpenes{H8472} bare{H3205} him Genubath{H1592} his son,{H1121} whom Tahpenes{H8472} weaned{H1580} in{H8432} Pharaoh's{H6547} house;{H1004} and Genubath{H1592} was in Pharaoh's{H6547} house{H1004} among{H8432} the sons{H1121} of Pharaoh.{H6547}

And when Hadad{H1908} heard{H8085} in Egypt{H4714} that David{H1732} slept{H7901} with his fathers,{H1} and that Joab{H3097} the captain{H8269} of the host{H6635} was dead,{H4191} Hadad{H1908} said{H559} to Pharaoh,{H6547} Let me depart,{H7971} that I may go{H3212} to mine own country.{H776}

Then Pharaoh{H6547} said{H559} unto him, But what hast thou lacked{H2638} with me, that, behold, thou seekest{H1245} to go{H3212} to thine own country?{H776} And he answered,{H559} Nothing: howbeit{H7971} only let me depart.{H7971}

And God{H430} raised up{H6965} [another] adversary{H7854} unto him, Rezon{H7331} the son{H1121} of Eliada,{H450} who had fled{H1272} from his lord{H113} Hadadezer{H1909} king{H4428} of Zobah.{H6678}

And he gathered{H6908} men{H582} unto him, and became captain{H8269} over a troop,{H1416} when David{H1732} slew{H2026} them [of Zobah]: and they went{H3212} to Damascus,{H1834} and dwelt{H3427} therein, and reigned{H4427} in Damascus.{H1834}

And he was an adversary{H7854} to Israel{H3478} all the days{H3117} of Solomon,{H8010} besides the mischief{H7451} that Hadad{H1908} [did]: and he abhorred{H6973} Israel,{H3478} and reigned{H4427} over Syria.{H758}

And Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat,{H5028} an Ephraimite{H673} of Zeredah,{H6868} a servant{H5650} of Solomon,{H8010} whose mother's{H517} name{H8034} was Zeruah,{H6871} a{H802} widow,{H490} he also lifted up{H7311} his hand{H3027} against the king.{H4428}

And this was the reason{H1697} why he lifted up{H7311} his hand{H3027} against the king:{H4428} Solomon{H8010} built{H1129} Millo,{H4407} and repaired{H5462} the breach of the city{H5892} of David{H1732} his father.{H1}

And the man{H376} Jeroboam{H3379} was a mighty man{H1368} of valor;{H2428} and Solomon{H8010} saw{H7200} the young man{H5288} that he was industrious,{H6213} and he gave him charge{H6485} over all the labor{H5447} of the house{H1004} of Joseph.{H3130}

And it came to pass at that time,{H6256} when Jeroboam{H3379} went out{H3318} of Jerusalem,{H3389} that the prophet{H5030} Ahijah{H281} the Shilonite{H7888} found{H4672} him in the way;{H1870} now [Ahijah] had clad{H3680} himself with a new{H2319} garment;{H8008} and they two{H8147} were alone in the field.{H7704}

And Ahijah{H281} laid hold{H8610} of the new{H2319} garment{H8008} that was on him, and rent{H7167} it in twelve{H8147} pieces.{H7168}

And he said{H559} to Jeroboam,{H3379} Take{H3947} thee ten{H6235} pieces;{H7168} for thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} Behold, I will rend{H7167} the kingdom{H4467} out of the hand{H3027} of Solomon,{H8010} and will give{H5414} ten{H6235} tribes{H7626} to thee

(but he shall have one{H259} tribe,{H7626} for my servant{H5650} David's{H1732} sake and for Jerusalem's{H3389} sake, the city{H5892} which I have chosen{H977} out of all the tribes{H7626} of Israel);{H3478}

because that they have forsaken{H5800} me, and have worshipped{H7812} Ashtoreth{H6253} the goddess{H430} of the Sidonians,{H6722} Chemosh{H3645} the god{H430} of Moab,{H4124} and Milcom{H4445} the god{H430} of the children{H1121} of Ammon;{H5983} and they have not walked{H1980} in my ways,{H1870} to do{H6213} that which is right{H3477} in mine eyes,{H5869} and [to keep] my statutes{H2708} and mine ordinances,{H4941} as did David{H1732} his father.{H1}

Howbeit I will not take{H3947} the whole kingdom{H4467} out of his hand;{H3027} but I will make{H7896} him prince{H5387} all the days{H3117} of his life,{H2416} for David{H1732} my servant's{H5650} sake whom I chose,{H977} who kept{H8104} my commandments{H4687} and my statutes;{H2708}

but I will take{H3947} the kingdom{H4410} out of his son's{H1121} hand,{H3027} and will give{H5414} it unto thee, even ten{H6235} tribes.{H7626}

And unto his son{H1121} will I give{H5414} one{H259} tribe,{H7626} that David{H1732} my servant{H5650} may have a lamp{H5216} alway{H3117} before{H6440} me in Jerusalem,{H3389} the city{H5892} which I have chosen{H977} me to put{H7760} my name{H8034} there.

And I will take{H3947} thee, and thou shalt reign{H4427} according to all that thy soul{H5315} desireth,{H183} and shalt be king{H4428} over Israel.{H3478}

And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken{H8085} unto all that I command{H6680} thee, and wilt walk{H1980} in my ways,{H1870} and do{H6213} that which is right{H3477} in mine eyes,{H5869} to keep{H8104} my statutes{H2708} and my commandments,{H4687} as David{H1732} my servant{H5650} did;{H6213} that I will be with thee, and will build{H1129} thee a sure{H539} house,{H1004} as I built{H1129} for David,{H1732} and will give{H5414} Israel{H3478} unto thee.

And I will for this afflict{H6031} the seed{H2233} of David,{H1732} but not for ever.{H3117}

Solomon{H8010} sought{H1245} therefore to kill{H4191} Jeroboam;{H3379} but Jeroboam{H3379} arose,{H6965} and fled{H1272} into Egypt,{H4714} unto Shishak{H7895} king{H4428} of Egypt,{H4714} and was in Egypt{H4714} until the death{H4194} of Solomon.{H8010}

Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Solomon,{H8010} and all that he did,{H6213} and his wisdom,{H2451} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the acts{H1697} of Solomon?{H8010}

And the time{H3117} that Solomon{H8010} reigned{H4427} in Jerusalem{H3389} over all Israel{H3478} was forty{H705} years.{H8141}

And Solomon{H8010} slept{H7901} with his fathers,{H1} and was buried{H6912} in the city{H5892} of David{H1732} his father:{H1} and Rehoboam{H7346} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.
